The Conviction of Isaac Watson, The case of Isaac Watson, before the justices at DriMeld, is commented on by the Solicitors' Journal, 'which impugns the conviction under the statute re ferred to—the 4th George IV., c 34—" for disobey lag the orders of his employer, to whom he had Lired himself for a year, and who desired him to attend a place of worship once every Sunday. The ,Solicitors' Journal says : Such a thing has been heard of as " driving a coach and four through an act of Parliament," and not unfrequently aro uses met with in which the laws have been perverted to effect a n o bj ect never contemplated by them; but the jus- Lel's of Driffield appear to have made themselves parties to an attempt to make a man religious by act of Parliament, and, in so doing, have, as we humbly submit, perverted the 2neaning of the 4th George IV., c 34. We presume it is intended that the offence charge I comes within the words of the third section of the act, which says that if any servant, o , shall contract with any person to servo him, and shall not enter into his service according to his contract (such con tract being in writing), or having entered shall absent him 'Mt, whether such contract be in writing or not, or neglect to fulfil the same or be guilty of any other misconduct or mis demeanour in the execution thereof, or otherwise respecting the same, then the justice may issue a warrant upon a com xlaint being made on oath. Upon proof being made of the offence charged, the justice may commit the prisoner totard labour for three months, or may abate the whole or part of his Wages for the time of his absence, or may discharge the contract. Now, it does not appear that the offence charged was c ontemplated by the statute. Ic the first place, it is not probable that the servant agreed in writing to go to eh . urch ev ery S unday, and the presumption from the show ing of these letters is that no such contract existed. Was Is aac Wat son guilty of any neglect in the fulfilment of his contract, or guilty of any other misconduct, or misde meanour in the execut i on thereof, or otherwise respecting the same? The offence charged was not within his con tract for service, and therefore could not have come under this clause of the section. To anyone reading the third section of the act, of which we have given an abridgement, it must appear evident that no such offence as is charged is within the statute. The justice is to issue his warrant to apprehend the offender— nothing is said of a summons in the first instance—clearly chewing that the absence of the servant from his ordinary work and labour is being guarded against. Then again the punishment to be awarded shows the same intent—imprisonment with hard labour, or a fine of which the master is to reap the benefit. Clearly, if a man is at church, he cannot be doing work on a farm, and there fore the master would for that time lose the benefit of the servant's work; but this does not appear to have been the Complaint here, The master lost nothing by his servant's absence from church. The act was passed to protect mas ters from loss by reason of a servant's misconduct in his service, and not for such a purpose as it has now been per verted to. The statement in the Marquis Townshend's letter to Sir George Grey is very short, and may not contain the terms of the s en t ence pronounced upon the offender in their entirety ; but we apprehend that the justices have no Power under this act to order the prisoner to attend church. There is a civil remedy to compel the performance of a con tract ; but thi s appears to have been one of those cases, now so frequent, in which a penal statute has been resorted to for the purpos e of enforcing a legal right. IiONIY MARKET AND COMMIRCIAL INTELLIGENCE, ...--..__.. TWELTE O'CLOCK. A. full demand for discounts is reported to-day in most quarters, but the rates have not moved Upwards, because brokers and others have experie enced an important increase in their available supplies by the reflex of notes and gold from the county, where their circulation was recently extended by the expenditure incidental to the harvest. The average quotation today for the last three menthe' paper is 9 per cent., but several instances are mentioned where choice descriptions have been negotiated at i per cent. cheaper. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as un l d B e 6 r 4 :- 1863. Great Western Nort h - Western ..

A further sum of £33000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. a The failur e h as b een announce d o f M essrs . Seale Leld Brothers, connected with the trade of Leeds. Their difficulties are supposed to have been pro duced through their relations with the Leeds Bank bag c ompany. ~r he hills of Mr. John Abraham, of Alderman - },— "Y , engaged in the Leeds woollen trade, were returned this afternoon. The failure has been announced of Mr. C. Dose, a large cotton speculator at Havre. The liabilities are stated at £40,000, and the assets are thought to be considerable. It is f eared that the statements current yesterday that ,the affairs of th e L ee d s Banking likelyo Company are prove less unfavourable than was at first supposed will not prove to h ave b een we ll f cun d e d. ;tis now said there are bills for about £2,000,000 under discount, bearing the company's endorse recut, of which a very considerable proportion will "me back upon them, Under these circuoas tancea there is no reason to apprehend that the liquidation Will be a long and expensive one, and that heavy e ll's will have to be made on the shareholders. It is f urther affi rmed that the bank has been insolvent for a long time past, and that the distress of the last Month or two was only the natural and inevitable result of financial measures of more than doubtful character, which have extended over a long period. The biddings for £300,000 in bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank of England. The pro portions allotted were—to Calcutta £177,700, to Bombay £120,000, and to Madras £2,300. The minimum price was, as before, Is. Did. per rupee on Calcutta and Madras, and ls. 11td. on Bombay. The applications within the limits amounted to £OBO,OOO. Tenders on Calcutta and Madras at 2s. will receive about 23 per cent., on Bombay at 2a, id. about 60 per cent,, and all above these prices in full. These terms indicate a diminished demand for remittances to the East. On the last occasion the lowest of the successful tenders was 2s. lid. on Calcutta and 2s, lid, on Bombay, and the applica tions amounted to £1,300,000. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap- Peinted the following special settling days : Monday, 26 h of September, in the European Cen tral Railway, for bargains entered into on and after the 23d of April; Tuesday, the 27th of September, ih the Bank of London New £lOO shares; and in I mperiallllexican Railway, for bargains entered ' il ' en and after the Ist of September, all of which are to be quoted in the official lists.

OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Pigott.) THE CHARGE OE ILLEGALLY RECEIVING A LUNATIC. Henry Wilken, a surgeon, surrendered to answer an in. dictment charging him with illegally receiving a young lady named Eliza Mitten, a person of unsound mind, without having any authority or license from the Commissioners of Lunacy, under the statute of the Bth and 9th Viet., for the better protection cf persons of unsound mind. Mr Giffird appeared for the prosecution; Mr Metcalfe defended. It appeared that the lady in question was of weak in tellect, and having become a patient of Dr Wilkin, ho received her into his house, and kept her under restraint and confinement, and treated her as a person of un• sound mind. But she contrived to make her escape, and was found wandering about until taken care of by the police, when Dr Wilkin claimed her as his patient, and the present proceedings were instituted under the statute against the defendant for not having complied with its provisions. A number of Witnesses were now called, who spoke to the kind and humane manner in which he hacl always treated the young lady. The Jury found the defendant Guilty. The learned Baron ordered judgment to be respited until next session. The defendant then entered into his own re cognisances in £2OO to appear on the 26th of (Wolter to receive judgment, and left the court. CHARGE OP CHILD MURDER. Elizabeth Haggis, a young girl 19 years of age, was in dicted, under the coroner's inquisition, for the wilful mur der of her illegitimate male child. It appeared that the prisoner had given birth to the child at the residence of her mother, a widow and charwoman at Hackney, early in August. The child was discovered by the mother lying dead and wrapped up on a table. A post mortem, examination had shown that tho child had been born alive, and that the death was caused by strangulation from pressure of the windpipe by the thumb and finger. The learned Judge having summed up, The jury acquitted the prisoner, who uas ordered to bo discharged. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr Commissioner Ker.) THE FRAUDS ON THE CITY OAS C AirANY. Richard Greenwood, lately a collector in the employ of tho City of London Gas Light and Coke Cempany, who had pleaded guilty te:several indictments for embezzling moneys, was this morning called up for judgmeut. Mr Commissioner Ker sentenced the prisoner to five fears penal servitude. otton Supply Association. At the usual wegkly meeting of the executive com mittee, held on Tuesday, Sept. 20, a letter was read, dated Government House, Antigua, West Indies, August 20, stating that his Excellency, the Governor-in-Chief of those Islands, has joined some gentlemen in an experi ment to grow cotton on an abandoned sugar estate, with a view to induce proprietors generally to enter into the cultivation. The first 100 acres will speedily be planted; the outlay is not more than 30s per acre; the seed used is from the island of Anguilia, where cotton has been most successful, and whence it is said the American planters procured their first seed. Satisfactory specimens of Antigua cotton have already been sent by the governor through the Board of Trade, and sanguine hopes of further success are entertained. A letter was received representing that the Haytian Government has raised the export duty on cot ton. A letter was read stating that Count Livaehoff, principal aide-de-camp to the Grand Duke Michael, is desirous of introducing the culture of cotton into the Caucasus, where the short Bokhara cotton has already been successfully cultivated, and requesting such infor mationsC a small s a mpl e o f African, M r B a lf our B a iki e ,onsul and assistance as the association can render. A cottonletterwas h received,ich the British has forwarded to Mr Bazley. A letter from the honorary agents of the association at Calcutta, states that cotton has been cultivated very extensively, but the out-turn cannot be relied upon, and in some districts will probably prove a failure, owing to the long continued drought. Many natives have been in duced to purchase exotic seed, both Egyptian and Ameri can ; the Rajah of Benarea has taken a quantity of the lat ter. A letter was received from Wellington, Madras, enclosing a sample of a supp os ed kind of cotton fibre, obtained from a tree on the Ne il g h e rr y Hills, of which numerous specimens have at various times been forwarded, but which have never been found available. The honorary agents at Bombay report that they have recently supplied Egyptian, Now Orleans, and Sea Island seed to the deputy commissioner of Chandah, and have applications from Seore (Bhopal), the deputy commissioner of Wurdah, the settle- went effieer,Sukkur (Scindihand others in Marcara (Coorg) and elsewhere. Consular despatches, forwarded by the Foreign-office, were received from Salonica, Thessaly, Adrianople, Smyrna, the Mores, and Madeira. In the lat ter island no cotton is grown, nor is there any prospect that its cultivation would afford satisfactory results. The consul of Salonica reports that in Macedonia 50,00 acres were planted with cotton in 1863, and about 140,000 acres in 1864 ; that in the former year 8,000 cwt of exotic seed, chiefly Ame rican, had been used, and that this year 40,000 cwt, all Ame rican, have been sown. Tho crop, which amounted to 90,000 cwt in 1863, is expected to yield 350,000 owt this year. As a proof of the energetic measures for the destruction of locusts taken by Akif Pacho, the Governor-General of Salonica, who offered a reward of a few pias'res for every oko of locusts collecte3, and visited in person the localities most subject to their ravages, it is stated that as many as 1,600,0001 b weight of locusts were brought to Salonica and paid for. At the time they were collected they were so small that as many as 6,200 of them only weighed one pound, showing how vast an amount of mischief has thus been prevented. This was not effected without con siderable difficulty, arising chiefly from the prejudices of the rural population who consider it a sin to de stroy locusts. The returns supplied by the vice-consul of Larissa and Volo show that in Thessaly 6,500 acres were planted with cotton in 1863, and about 25,030 acres in 1864; that 7,2501 b of American seed have been used this year, being four times the quantity sown the previous year, and that the produce, which in 1863 was 55,0001 b, will, it is estimated, amount to between £1,650,000 and £2,750,0001b this year. The crop of the last two years has been shipped from Vole to Marseilles by French steamers. The expected cession o f G overnme nt waste lands rent free , and the suspension for a term of yea rs of the levy of tithes, have not been r ea li se d. The system o f farm i ng and selling the tithes of th e w h o l e province to the h i ghest bidders, who in their turn refarm and resell at a profit to other speculators the subdivisions' portions of the several districts, remains unaltered, and is said to be productive of infinite abuses, injustice, and vexation to the trader as well as to the grower. The want of roads is a great inconve nience, and adds considerably to the cost of transport. Tho crops everywhere present a most promising appearance. The cultivation of cotton in the pashalik of Smyrna has increased from 29,000 acres in 1863 to 53,750 acres in 1864, and the produce which in the former year, ex_ &c., was 43,000 bales, is expected to reachthis 101,000 bales, or 303,000 cwts. In many looa- elusive pear Adana, lities the cultivators have been obliged to sow twice and even three times; later on the plant was attacked by a small Cleo patra grub, which injured the first shoots, but as the plant had time to make fresh and more numerous shoots, it i s supposed that the crop has been much improved by this novel method of heading. It is generally expected that the cotton ground will be much extended next spring. I n the district of Adrianople, the vice-consul reports that the pro• duce per acre is 300 to 3201 b, and in the districts of Uzun kiupru and Dimotioa, 4201 b to 4351 b ; that cotton is cultivated without irrigation, and that tithe has Leen com muted for a fixed assessment as regards old lands, to be t h ere has been a greater quantity of re newed every five years. The amount which each village has American, and that the produce to pay is collected by the primates, and by them remitted to the Treasury in quarterly instalments. In the province of nitres, in the Mores, the consul reports that the cultivation of cotton has increased from 303 acres in 1863, to 1X:8 partly. in the former year, Eli a , in the Mores, an d intelligent government the Mores is expected to be The crop goes to Trieste and England. e a ‘3vx c 9h r oo e i e s : hco i n o:l l eab B dB. 6 6t 4 uhl , sl6es do:, that eal br The insecurity of property in Greece deters foreigners from embarking their property in agricultural operations, quantity of cotton.

BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A WOMAN.—John Barry, a COS termonger, was placed at the bar charged with feloniously assaulting and wounding Hannah Springall, an unfortunate girl. Complainant's face was frightfully disfigured, and one of her eyes completely closed, besides which she had some wounds on the back of the head. Sbe stated that the pri• Boner had lived with her for a short time, but that she had left him on Sunday last in consequence of his repeated bru tality. On Tuesday he met and beat her with his fists, and at an early hour this morning committed the assault of which she now complained. He broke into her room, and beat her about the head with a piece of iron and a looking glass. He struck her several times, and afterwards com mitted an assault upon a soldier. She was taken to the hospital where her wounds were stitched up. Mr Arnold—Was the prisoner intoxicattd ? Complainant—l can't say he was sober. Mr Arnold—Did he inflict all the injuries you now bear? Complainant—He did. Mr Arnold—How do you mean he beat you about the head with a looking-glass ? Complainant—lie broke it about my head. The soldier assaulted did not press his charge against the prisoner, but gave some evidence in support ct the state ment of prisoner's brutality to the woman. George Stickle, 95 B, said he was called to St. Ann-street at one this morning, and there found the woman bleeding from the injuries - she had received. Oa examining the pieces of glass he found some blood and hair on ono of the pieces. Prisoner %as remanded until Monday. MARLBOROUGH STREET. DESIRTING CHILDREN.—Francis Monad, a pressman, who gave the address Drury Chambers, Drury-land, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt, on a warrant, with deserting his three children, aged 5 years, 3 years, and 20 months, whereby they became chargeable to the parish of St. James' s. Mr Tett, inquiring officer of St 7EllllBB'B parish, said the prisoner's three children had been admitted into the work home, being in a destitute state. From inquiries he made he found that the prisoner was a pressman, and had worked at Mr Howlett's, printer, of Frith-street, and could well earn .£3 a week but for his drunken habits. Ha yesterday gave the prisoner the option of being admitted into the workhouse with his children, and then being passed to his parish, on going before the magistrate. The prisoner came in, but in consequence of refusing to stay he was obliged to apply for a warrant and take him into custody. He had heard the prisoner had expressed his iatention of deserting his family and going into the army. The prisoner's aunt said he had been a hardworking young man till some time ago when he fell out with his wife. He brought the children to her to take care of, and as she could not keep them she took them to the workhouse. The prisoner's wife was in the hospital, and only a few days ago gave birth to another child. She had been told that he intended to go for a soldier. Mr. Tyrwhitt said unless the prisoner could settle with the parish authorities ho must be committed for a Month. The prisoner said he had tried to get work and could not. Mr Tyrwhitt said a man who could earn good wages as a pressman was nut a fit person for compassion, and (Mr Tett stating that no arrangement could be made with the prisoner) committed the prisoner for a month, ATTEMPTED SUICIDE,--Sarah Bell, cook to Sir William Abdy, of 20n, Hill-street, Berkeley-square, was charged with attempting to commit suicide by hanging herself. Edward Sherrard, coachman to Sir Wm. Abdy, deposed that he was called from the stables by some of the other servants, and on going to the prisoner's bedroom found her hanging by a piece of cord to a peg in the wall. He cut her down, and she was insensible for a short time, and she was afterwards given into custody. In answer to Mr Tyrwhitt, the witness said that the cord was tightly fastened round the prisoner's throat. Mr Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week. PICKPOCKETS.—Gorge Smith, Alfred Abrey, and Robert Jacobs were charged by Henry Rough, 310 A, with attempting to pick pockets. _ _ _ The case being proved by the officer, who showed great perseverance in watching the prisoners, Mr Tyrwhitt com mitted them for three months each, THAMES. ►SERIOUS CHARGE OF STABBING.—Raymond Rodrigues was brought before Mr Partridge charged with stabbing John de Leon, with intent to murder him or do grievous bodily harm. Mr Charles Young. solicitor, defended the prisoner. Inspector Holloway, of the H division, stated that the prisoner and the maa he had wounded were both Spaniards and boarding-house keepers, Leon carrying on his business at No. 187, Itatcliff highway, and Rodrigues at 28, Albert street, Shadwell. Last night they quarrelled at the Rose and Crown publiehouse in Rat:,liff-highway, and the pri soner uttered sane threats towards Leon, and as they were leaving the house stabbed him in the abdomen with a long knife, inflicting a serious wound. The wounded man was taken to the London Hospital, and he was not expectad to recover. Mr Holloway then put in the following medical certificate. "John de Leon, who was admitted here last night with a punctured wound in the abdomen, is in a precarious way. I think it would be advisable to take hie evidence as soon as possible. R. T. Jubb, Surgeon, London Hospital, Sept. 22, 1861." Mr Partridge—. Are there any witnesses ? Mr Holloway—Yes, sir, several. Mr Partridge directed that the prisoner should be at once taken to the London Hospital, and he would proceed there as soon as possible and receive the deposition of the wounded man. The statement of Leon, and the evidence of S. Mitchell, of 187, Ratcliff-highway, seaman, Briant Van de Mulur, waiter, at the Bose and Crown, and Murphy, a clothier, mado out a strong case against the prisoner, who was re manded for a week. Leon's recovery is very doubtful. He appeared to be in a sinking condition, and with difficulty gave his evidence through the medium of an interpreter. Decision under the New Medical Act. At the Marlborough-street Police Court, yesterday, Mr Francis Bearnard, surgeon chiropidist to the Royal family, No. 59, Regent-street, again appeared before Mr Tyrwhitt to answer a summons for using the word " surgeon" on his door, in contravention of the provisions of the New Medical Act. Mr W. Tilley, of Beaconsfield, Bucks, representing the Medical Council of Education and Registration, appeared in support of the summons, and Mr Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, appeared for Mr Bearnard. The case has already been reported. It may be recollected that on the first occasi on it was prove d on t h e one side, and admitted on the other, th a t th e wor d s "surg eon ohiropo dist" were on the def en d an t' s d oor p l a t e; th a t the defendant was not a surgeon in England, nor was he registered as of the medical profession. Mr Tyrwhitt adjourned the case to take time to consider his decision. Mr Tyrwitt said —I have considered this case, and it appears to me that "surgeon," though prefixed to "chi ropodist," canntt be treated as mere surplusage, but must have a meaning, ana was intended to have one. That mean ing must be measured, not in the narrow sense in which knowing Londoners, experienced in vain pretension and in the steps of medical rank, might take it, but by the general acceptation wbioh the great body of mankind passing the defendant's door-plate would ascribe to the words used there. I think, on the whole, that these words would convey to them that a surgeon duly qualified and registered as such practised ,at the house in question as a chiropc, dist, Taken to be such a surgeon, he would command more confidence with those who sought his aid as a chiropodist; and, not only that, but he might naturally be consulted by them in surgical matters beyond the mere treatment of corns. We must allow something for the craving after small titles h whic is eo widely spread at pre sent, brought, it may be, by German steamers. The corn cutter is restless until he writes "chiropodist," and next, from fear of so much Greek not being understood, he dubs himself "surgeon" at all hazirds. On the whole, it the defendant will remove from his door-plate and cards the word "surgeon," I might consider as to mitigating the penalty, which is £2O, and in that hope would adjourn my decision till this day week. But if the defendant requests me to grant a case for the opinion of a superior court I will do so. In that case it will be needless to adjourn the case, and I fine him £2O, Mr Lewis, jun., said since the last hearing Mr Bearnard had been to the Medical Council, and the secretary had informed him that they were not initiating the complaint. Mr Tyrwhitt said he had nothiag to do with the Medical Council. Mr Lewis, jun., said if Mr Bearnard took a case to a superior court ho had a tight to know whether Mr Tilley was a responsible person. Mr Bearnard had been called upon by several medical gentlemen, who had expressed their distaste at the proceedings. After some consultation between Mr Lewis and Mr Bear nerd, Mr Lewis said, with all deference to the judgment just delivered, his client would take a case, and Mr Bear nard would at once enter into the requisite sureties, Mr Tilky applied for summonses against other persons for infringement of the Medical Act, and they were granted. NORTIIAMPTONSIIIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. —At the ploughing match at Brackley on the 20th, the champion prize open to all England, was won by Messrs, Ransome's man, James Barker. This is the third conse cutive match of this season at which Barker has beaten George Brown, the celebrated ploughman of the Messrs. Howard. LITHE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT PONTY. POOL-ROAD. —An inquiry touching the circum stances of this accident has been held by the directors of the Great Western Railway Company, and after hearing the evidence as to the cause of the collision, it was determined to discharge the pilot engine-man (who it will be remem bered accompanied the driver of the train to which the acci dent happened) and the signalman at Pontypool-road, and to intlict a fine of 108 on the signalman at The Prince and Princess of Wales in Denmark. (Front the .7imes' Special Correspondent.) COPENHAGEN, Saturday. When the distinguished company assembled at Christiansborg Palace last evening left the concert room, where for more than two hours Danish melo dies had been plaid or sung in brilliant succession, they proceeded to the Riddersaal, or great banquet ting-hall, an apartment of truly Royal dimensions, and such as might have been erected by that Prince who declared that Westminster-hall was intended by him merely for a bedroom in the palace he was about to build. Oa the way thither A procession was formed in the following order:—First the Hof-Mar• shal or Lard High Steward, Gen. o.tholm ; then the Prince of Wales leading in Her .11I4ecty the Q'ieen of Denmark ; next the King, accompanying her Royal Highness the Pcincess of Wiles, the Laodgrave William of II: see with the Princess Mazy of Anhalt, the Crown Prince of D,:nmark and the Princess Hilda of Anhalt ; finally Prince Hans of Giucksburg with the Princess Digmar. The immediate suites of Royalty and the more distin guished guests, that is to say, in Danish phrase, "the ladies of- the Court and cavaliers," followed, and finally those constituting the general company. Passing from the Hall of Music through what is called the Seventh Great Room, and which no doubt purposely was kept a little gloomy, a scene of rare beauty burst upon them as they entered the Rid dersaal. The height of this enormous room is fully 50 feet, its length and width are proportionate, and when illumined by 2,000 wax lights, the pureness of its decorations, of white and gold throughout, conveyed to the senses an impression as of an atmo sphere of lustrous ivory. It was only by degrees thst the eye accustomed itself to the details, and learnt to admire the ceiling moulded into a pattern diamond shaped and deeply recessed, the exqusite marble frieze by Bissen, and the means existing for throwing down this wonderful body of light, with out the intervention of a single lamp. Five large tables for refreshments ran round the apartment, and in the centre was one specially devoted to the Royal party. The latter answered at the same time the purposes of a beff.it, there being displayed upon it three splendid silver stands, illustrative of hunting scenes, which were made in Paris for Chris tian VII., also three beautiful vases, dating from the time of Frederick VI., enriched upon their lofty sides with views of Frendensborg, Fredericksburg, and Sorgenfri, the residence of the Queen Dowager. The refreshments, which were moulded by culinary art into wonderful shapes, and were, it is needless to add, of the choicest quality, were taken standing, by the company. After supper had practically concluded the members of the royal party remained for a long time in conversation with their guests. Among those with whom they talked freely was the First or Senior Bishop of Zealand—for in Denmark they have no archbishops—the head of the Luthe. ran Establishment in the country. This right reve rend prelate, equally with the other clergymen pre sent, was attired in the costume which has been handed down in its integrity from the time of Luther. D.ffering, however, from the officiating clergy of particular districts he, with his colleagues among the higher orders in the ministry, is entitled to wear silk, and even velvet, instead of the plain stuff dress or gown ; and when to this decorations for long and distinguished service are added, it may be questioned whether even the formal Lutheran costume does not approach somewhat near to the " pomps and vanities," In every quarter of the room to which the Queen of Denmark happened to make her way her pretence could be traced when her face could not bo seen by tho lustre of the diamond head-dress which she wore. Judg ing from their sizs, these brilliants probably formed part of the Regalia. Ribands and badges were by no means confined to the male por tion of the assembly, for several of the ladies present were similarly distinguished. These were members, not of the order of the I Parfaite open to ladies as well as to gentlemen, which once existed in Denmark, but of the Royal Chapter of Valloe, a wealthy and benevolent order, to which none but ladies of noble birth are admitted. Oh members iv this there are at least four grades, and it is indispensable that they should all be peeresses in their own right. In the first of these grades the members are entitled to a residence, to a yearly in come of 1,200 ecus, and to other advantages, includ ing the privilege of wearing the badge and riband of the order; the second class can only wear the, badge, receiving b5O ecus yearly; to the third class 300 ecus annually are given without any honorary distinction. This order, half feudal, half eleemosy nary, was established in the year 1737 by Sophia Madeline, wife of Caristia❑ VI. Glancing from the shoulder knots and ciphers in brilliants worn by this honourable sisterhood, to the other portions of the radiant assembly met together in this kingly hall, it was impossible to believe that this could be a State in its decadence, and almost in danger of dis appearing from the map of Europe. Where were the symptoms of that decay and corruption foretell ing the final agony ? The King was surrounded by Ministers—men, indeed, who might have been mis taken in their action, but of unswerving honesty and integrity of purpose ; by generals representing an army of moll indomitable courage that it never ceased to show front to its enemies, though crushed by overwhelming disparity of force. Men of historic title—the Danneskiold-Samsoes, Ozholms, skiolds, Laurvigens, Ahlefelts, Brestropps—stood around him. Great landholders, such as the Counts of Schulein, Holstein-Ledreburg, Langeland, and Danneman, were in attendance to prove their loyalty. The truth is that in all that constitutes the true progress of a nation Denmark has not dezlined of late years. Oraers with larger populations may have advanced more rapidly, but for that she cannot be blamed. Edu cation and reapsot for the laws have never been more general in the country ; nearly every social grade is comfortably off; the institutions are, if anything, only too liberal. Last, but certainly, not least, the Court, like our own, is one where the breath of scandal can find nothing upon which to rest and blacken. Such was the scene of the Rid. dersaal, and such the reflections it provoked. It only remains to be added that the perfect success of the evening's entertainments was largely owing to the admirable arrangements made beforehand, and carried out under the personal supervision of the Hof-Marshal and Alarechal de la Cour. MR. COXIVELL'S BENEFIT AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—Yesterday was a busy day at the Crystal Palace for all who take an interest in ballooning, Mr Cox well, who has done so much to raise it from a mere amuse ment to the dignity of a scientific pursuit, took his first benefit there, and throughout the day furnished a continual succession of novel and interesting exhibitions of his art. The balloon races were a great success, and at half-past four Mr Coxwoll, accompanied by some half-dozen adven turous volunteers, made an ascent in the "Mammoth," which now deserves to be reckoned as one of the great scientific observatories of the world. Later on there were some entertaining experiments in the Central Transept with a navigable aerial ship, and at half-past 7 there Was a grand night ascent in the "Mars," wish a display of fire • , works. Mr Coxwell was loudly cheered whenever he ap peared, and on all sides there seemed to be a general dis position to make amends to him for the illusage he suffered from the turbulent Foresters at Leicester. The admissions on payment were 10,837 —by season tickets, 2,625—t0ta1, 13,462. A letter from Lyons, in the Moniteur des Arts states that some workmen engaged in digging near the wood of Roohecardon, in the environs of that city, have discovered traces of a Roman camp. Near the surface they found a quantity of fragments of arms and other articles, chitfiv bronze, and, at the depth of 18 feet, a number of swords, battle-axes, spear-heads, &e., all in tolerable pre servation. They also found a number of bronze coins, bearing the heads of Domitian Antoninus and Marcus Au relius, and one silver medal of the Emperor Albinus. It is supposed that this spot was the scene of a fierce conflict in the great battle between Albinus and Septlmus Severna, which is known to have taken place on the left bank of the Saone in that neighbourhood. All the objects found in these excavations are now in the posses3ion of M, Vaganay, an antiquary of Lyons.

Yesterday being the feast of St Matthew, the senior scholars of Christ's Hospital, according to annual custom, delivered the orations and recitations of the year befcra the Lord Mayor, Mr Sheriff Nissen, several members of the Town Council, and a large number of the friends of the students. The civic party first attended service at Christ Church Newgate-street, where a sermon was preached by the Rev, Dr. W. Haig Brown, of Pembroke College, Cambridge, who has recently been appointed head master of Charter house School. The Lord Mayor and party then proceeded to the great hall of the hospital, where they took their seats on a raised platform at the western epd. For the orators a dais was erected in the centre of the hall, and the galleries wore occupied by the junior boys. The Rev. Dr Jacob, the head-master, and the other masters of the school were present around the dais. Mr William Farrer, 3d Grecian, Thompson mathema tical medallist and Montefiore priz3man, 1864, scholar of Pembroke College, Oxford, delivered the prologue in Latin. Ile asked a fair hearing for his fellow students, and ex pressed a hope that, amidst the many disturbing cares of the present day, the audience might be able to give a few minutes to the youthful exertions of those who would ad dress them— " Favete—Adeste xquis manibus, et res plaudit° Mauibus bouignis et juvenits lugiat pudur." Mr Arthur Buvill, 4th Grecian, next delivered the Greek oration on the benefits of the Royal hospitals. Mr Lewis Lu Hardy Sharkey, let Grecian, Thompson classical medallist, 1852, Richards m dalli t, 1562 and 1861 scholar of Corpus Christi College, ()ford, delivered the English oration.

A collection was then made on behalf of the young men proceeding to Oxford and Cambridge, and the proceedings terminated with the National Anthem. The delivery of the orations and recitations was very good, and the various orations were justly applauded by those critical scholars who could appreciate the difficulties of the task which the young Grecians had to overcome. The fairer portion of the audience also heartily joined in the manifes tations of applause, though probably from more tender feel ings. The orations were well committed to memory, and were spoken in a fluent and clear style ; but making this remark, we only say what is the ordinary case at the annual exercitations of the alumni of this excellent school.

BENAIIES PLOT.—The Maharajah of Benares lately sent word to the local authorities that a Mahomedan stranger in the city had made urzant liens for an interview with him, on the plea that he bore confidential despatches which must be delivered into the Maharajah's own hands. For some reason the man was suspected to have come from the neighbourhood of Sutana. It was therefore decided that the interview be granted, and at the special ugliest of the Maharajah an Agent of Govern ment be concealed in the room of audience to hear what passed. The scoundrel, wbo gives the name of Goon Khan of Itewab, duly kept his tryste, and presented what pur ported to be letters bearing the signature and seals of the Akhoond of Swat and Rajah of Jummo, introducing the bearer as their confidential agent, who would receive any thing the Maharajah would send them, and who bore mes sages of importance from them to the Maharajah. The man then went on to state that it was arranged by the Akhoond and the Rajah of Jummo that they should make a joint attack on the British immediately after the rains, and the Rajahs, Nswabs, and ether men of influenc9 in Hindostan be invited to co-operate by simultaneously rising and by sanding recruits and money to Sittana. When he had ex hausted his budget the agent of Government stepped from behind the purdah and arrested him. Other Punjabees have since been taken in the city who have been consortipg with this man, and from whom further revelations may be expected. Meanwhile Government 18 vigorously prosecu ting inquiries in other quarters. It is suspected that these men are mere importers, and in no way connected with or commissioned by the Akhoond or Cajah, but merely traffic ing on the discontent of the people for their own peculiar benefit.—Delhi Gazette. _ _ _ The first stone of a new Congregational Chapel was laid at Scarborough on Tuesday, by Mrs Titus Salt, on a site near the South Cliffe.
